Whoa, you had me concerned there with your first post, Albrecht, when you said "something very suspicious"... when you typed that I thought I'd somehow messed up the dialogue b/w Suzy and her uncle... Then I read your follow-up post, which clarified things, but I'm still wondering if you were actually over-speculating or if you sense something else.

Suzy's been wanting to at least contact her father since her parents' divorced, and when Uncle Stuart moved into town (actually, just outside Delphia City), Suzy found her chance to find out what became of her dad. Before meeting with Stuart, she had no idea where her father was.

Now, as to why her father wound up in Canada... that'll come later... I'm glad that you like the story so far; things will get more interesting...
